Good afternoon spectacular Servo-ists,

If you use GitHub's OAuth features to interact with the Servo
organization's repos, or if you have SSH keys created prior to 2014 that
you're using on Servo's repos, this message is for you. Otherwise, you can
quit reading here :)

Since the Servo GitHub organization was created before 2014, it doesn't
have OAuth app restrictions[1] enabled by default. The restrictions
basically prevent members of the organization from handing out permissions
to 3rd-party apps without org owners' (me, Lars, Jack) approval.

To improve the org's security, we are going to enable these restrictions
this weekend (July 29/30). If you or your bots are using a pre-2014 SSH key
to interact with anything in Servo org, please switch to using a new key
this week so that the app restrictions change doesn't interrupt your
workflow.

You're welcome to ask any questions about this change here, on IRC, or in
the GitHub issue[2] tracking it.

*tl;dr If your SSH key quits working for the Servo org on GitHub this
weekend, replace it with one created after March 2014 and everything will
be ok.*

Have a fantastic Monday,
edunham
